S2 Ep 13. Jung and Gnosticism Part B

Jung underwent an initiation in his confrontation with the unconscious; it was the gnostic spirit and voice that inhabited him in the 1913-1917 descent. The Gnostics lived a very powerful mystic tradition and there are many metaphysical and mythological ideas which form a bridge to the transpersonal aspects of Jungian psychology. Their influence on Jung was immense since he experienced gnosis through their spirit.
